Home brewing alternatives to bottling?
My family is interested in home brewing beer. We have a home brewing kit and have ordered ingredients, but do not have anything in the way of supplies for bottling. Yes, we could go through the process of bottling beer, but I have seen and heard alternatives to bottling, namely a small keg-like vessel with a little part to insert a small CO2 cylinder to carbonate the beer. Does anyone know where I can get such a thing?
The only one that I am aware of is kegging it. If you invest into a cylindroconical fermenter you can blow out your yeast and then drink fresh from the tank.
no idea. but a large pop bottle (sterilized) with a little sugar and yeast for carbonation does me just fine. You’ve gotta wait 2 weeks or so though.

I think you are talking about "Corny" kegs. Go to http://byo.com and click on resources. That will help you find a local supplier.
